Those numbers would be even higher if he wasn't limited to 20 minutes during one of those four games. While Duncan will have nights where his minutes are down, he can still provide when he gets a full games worth of work, so continue to play him as long as he's in the lineup.","date":"Wed Feb 25"},"fullName":"Tim Duncan","seasonOutlook":{"outlook":"On the strength of some fantastic per-minute numbers, Duncan averaged 15.1 points, 9.7 rebounds and 1.9 blocks despite seeing only 29.1 minutes per game. His efforts were good enough to place the 38-year-old 33rd on our Player Rater by season's end. While it is clear that he still has a lot left in the tank, fantasy owners should still have some concerns about his lack of playing time in regular-season action. Duncan isn't getting any younger, so be aware that Gregg Popovich will continue to limit his minutes throughout the regular season in an effort to keep him fresh for the playoffs. --BM","seasonId":2015,"date":"Fri Oct 3"},"playerRater30DAY":6.6,"playerRater15DAY":5.6,"positionRank":7}
